CHOIRGIRL:

Bless this day,

Pinnacle of life,

Husband joined to wife.

The heart leaps up to behold

This golden day.



PAUL:

Today is for Amy,

Amy, I give you the rest of my life,

To cherish and to keep you, to honor you forever.

Today is for Amy,

My happily soon-to-be wife.



AMY:

Pardon me, is everybody here? Because if everybody's here, I

want to thank you all for coming to the wedding, I'd appreciate

your going even more, I mean you must have lots of better things

to do, and not a word of this to Paul, remember Paul, you know,

the man I'm gonna marry, but I'm not, because I wouldn't ruin

anyone as wonderful as he is--

Thank you all

For the gifts and the flowers,

Thank you all,

Now it's back to the showers,

Don't tell Paul,

But I'm not getting married today.



CHOIRGIRL:

Bless this day,

Tragedy of life,

Husband joined to wife.

The heart sinks down and feels dead

This dreadful day.



AMY:

Listen, everybody, look, I don't know what you're waiting for,

a wedding, what's a wedding, it's a prehistoric ritual

where everybody promises fidelity forever, which is

maybe the most horrifying word I ever heard of, which is

followed by a honeymoon, where suddenly he'll realize he's

saddled with a nut, and wanna kill me, which he should--

Thanks a bunch,

But I'm not getting married--

Go have lunch,

'Cause I'm not getting married--

You've been grand,

But I'm not getting married--

Don't just stand there,

I'm not getting married--

And don't tell Paul,

But I'm not getting married today.



Go, can't you go?

Why is no-

Body listening?

Goodbye,

Go and cry

At another person's wake.

If you're quick,

For a kick,

You could pick

Up a christening,

But please,

On my knees,

There's a human life at stake!



Listen everybody, I'm afraid you didn't hear, or do you want to

see a crazy lady fall apart in front of you, it isn't only Paul

who may be ruining his life, you know we'll both of us be losing

our identities, I telephoned my analyst about it and he said to

see him Monday, but by Monday I'll be floating in the Hudson with

the other garbage--

I'm not well,

So I'm not getting married--

You've been swell,

But I'm not getting married--

Clear the hall,

'Cause I'm not getting married--

Thank you all,

But I'm not getting married--

And don't tell Paul,

But I'm not getting married today.



CHOIRGIRL:

Bless this bride,

Totally insane,

Slipping down the drain.

And bless this day in our hearts

As it starts

To rain.



PAUL:

AMY: Today is for

Go, can't you go? Amy,

Look, you know Amy,

I adore you all, I give you

But why The rest of

Watch me die My life,

Like Eliza on the ice? To cherish

down with Hepatitis, and I

it be funnier to go and watch

a funeral, so thank you for the

thirty-seven butter knives,

forty-seven paperweights,
